Glassy Eyed, Dormant And Veiled

The world was once seen burning in my eyes Just as it is in yours now A hurricane of memories put out the embers that remained And now I’m gone Though I’m obsolete, ill scold you even in your dreams Rise from your sleep, boy A myriad of maladies Incomplete identity Hunger for the love you never gave [Chorus x 2] Don’t think I did not hear you coming home, boy Don’t think I did not hear you coming home, last night I am an absent father Glassy eyed, drunken and veiled Father, can you hear me My head is pounding like the wagons on a freight train The wheels are poorly fastened and they threaten to drive off the tracks Lead by your ever present voice I'm gonna take this fall for us A myriad of maladies Incomplete identity Hunger for the love you never gave [Chorus x 2] Don’t think I did not hear you coming home, boy Don’t think I did not hear coming home, last night I am an absent father Glassy eyed, drunken and veiled I’ve got nations blaming me for the passings of their children I’ve been dragging ships across dry land To fill the hole you emptied Somewhere in you there is something belonging to me And i don’t know how to retrieve [Chorus] Don’t think I did not hear you coming home, boy Don’t think I did not hear you coming home, last night I am an absent father Glassy eyed, dormant and veiled
